Newsarama is reporting that Stephen Wacker has suddenly parted with DC and is joining Marvel effective immediately.
I thought this kind of thing only happened with fashion magazines and internet start ups. You know the big two are doing well when they start making offers to lure editorial talent away from each other.

Oh god! Will it never end? How much Legion talent is Marvel going to steal away from us? What do they think we are...the farm team?

Not to be outdone by DC, Marvel is planning to launch "365", and they needed an editor with some kind of background for this kind of project.

But with Marvel it will take them 5 years to get "365" out and then only by cutting the actual magazine count to 48 issues. They will make half of them double size and offer 3-5 covers on every one though.

it's Money. Marvel probably offered him a sweet deal, and he took the money and ran. last year Wacker was going to leave DC for marvel but he waited till the end of the day to tell DC, and at that point Dc offered more money for him to stay. so go figure?

What's the chance S/LSH will wind up under the Superman editorial banner?
Since the title change to "Supergirl and ..." the two comic book shops I frequent have been shelving it with the Superman books, thus increasing its visibility. The Legion started out under the Superman editor, Mort Weisinger, and perhaps it's now time they take the prodigal child back into the fold.

I guess I'm pretty ambivalent about it. He didn't endear himself to me by rebooting the Legion again (I'm not trying to open a debate here, I'm just sayin's all) but then again, things like bringing Steve Lightle and Dave Cockrum back into the fold really spoke to his good qualities. At any rate I hope he can do some good at Marvel, and good luck to him.
Edit: I know it wasn't all his responsibility for the reboot. Obviously something like that has to go through a lot of hands.
